Carrion Commandos (1983-1986)

V'sar 23 - Vocals
Breo Nebraska - Drums
Ziggy Fasternation - Bass
DMT - Guitar
Mott Madanav - Keyboards?

This must be the strangest of the Eugene tapes I own. In the past, I've described the Carrion Commandos as a band one might listen to while committing homicide. Creepy stuff, this was originally released in 1983 and I'm told the original packaging included a few strands of band members' pubic hair. I bought my copy off a punk rock guy named Tom who happened to have the tape with him when the subject came up. Thankfully, the copy I bought didn't include everything the tape originally came with. Lead singer Vsar 23 used to live in the basement apartment of the house I lived in while I went to college. Once, my downstairs neighbor went down to the basement to complain about the noise level and Vsar growled at her like a dog until she freaked out and left. I guess that sort of mindset explains much of what is going on here although nothing could explain the combination of drugs they must have been on to think doing a parody of I Eat Cannibal was a good idea.

  4. I was able to download most of the files just now (on a Mac).

    By the way, I was "DMT" back in the day, and could fill in some missing details about how the Commandos did their (our) thing.

  6. By the way, this music downloaded perfectly, thank you so much, I have this on cassette, but no player just now. I remember writing these songs at our garage pracice space on Charnelton and 13th. Alas gone to fire long since. It is so good to hear the old sounds of my youth. Again thanks. Breo
